About Salem Home

Our Mission Statement

Our vision is bold. “Salem Home will be recognized as an innovative leader in the delivery of Long Term Care.”

We believe that relationships are the most important part of everyone’s life. That is why we began, and continue to develop the Relationship Centered Model of Care. This model is centered on UK based Michael Nolan’s research that identifies six dimensions that affect our well-being:

Security – feeling safe

Belonging – feeling a part of a community, being part of a relationship whether new or established

Continuity – linking the past, present and future

Purpose – enjoying meaningful activities

Achievement – completing goals that give satisfaction

Significance – feeling valued

Our values of compassion, dignity, excellence and faith guide us as we work to ensure the residents’ have a positive lived experience while living at Salem Home.

We are accredited through Accreditation Canada. This means we meet nationally develop organizational and care standards as measured against other long term care facilities. In 2003, the Behavior Treatment Unit was recognized by Accreditation Canada as a Best Practice, and 2012, the model of care we have adopted “Relationship Centered Care” was recognized as a Leading Practice.

We are also required to meet the Personal Care Home Standards legislated by the Manitoba Government. Standards visits are made by Manitoba Health every two years.

We have a dedicated group of about 200 volunteers who spend time with residents.

We contract a Paid Companion Program for residents needing more companionship.

We provide practicum experience to educational programs from Assiniboine College Practical Nursing Program, Brandon University Psychiatric Nursing Program, Red River Community College Health Care Attendant Program, and University of Manitoba Social Work Program.

Salem Home is owned by 13 Mennonite Churches within the Winkler and surrounding district.

Both the churches and community are involved in providing programs to the residents. The number of programs range from 300 to 400 per year.
